Peach Jam Podcast: Timothy Léon - Camilla, Ga.

Timothy Léon, a pop-soul musician from Camilla, Ga., joins the Peach Jam Podcast.

Growing up around his parents' church choir, Timothy developed a deep appreciation for music, viewing it as a divine calling that could change lives.

Timothy attended the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) where he honed his craft, learning the importance of networking and the discipline of being a student of his art. After graduating, he was hired to teach private vocal lessons at SCAD Atlanta, a significant milestone in his career. Beyond music, Timothy has ventured into fashion, designing a line of shoes inspired by his creative vision and personal beliefs.
